If you're Lost, you're lame

Disclaimer: I watched the first four episodes of the first season, one episode in the fifth season, and the series finale - all two hours of it. I am making my judgement based on acting, actors, plot movement, fx, writing, and what I know to be my ingenious skills at piecing together an entire story based on very little. However, my opinions are my own so please don't be offended by them. I'm only judging the fans on the inside.

Quick rant:

I am so glad I didn't listen to the masses and get addicted on this show. It would have been the biggest waste of time, and I'm supposed to be learning french right now.

Okay, so first off, really? You got hooked, did ya? Why? Because you needed to know how the polar bear got there? Or why Kate was dangerous?

I honestly can't believe that anyone could watch the plane crash scenes, which apparently needed to air several times and in horrifying detail. Fans? Do you people like to travel because I am going to picture what I saw on this stupid ass show every time I get on a plane. I ALREADY see the plane crash from Fight Club and the explosion in the first Final Destination, but now I get to imagine when cabin pressure changes and some dude flies up into the air and hits the ceiling of the plane. Thanks a bunch. That was real necessary, over and over.

Then what? It was quick sci fi (haaaaa!!!! I just realized my audience), cheap-looking effects with corny names. Twisted sub plot. Action and death. And of course, attractive people. But then again, they killed off the hot dude early on from what I understand, and apparently SPOILER everyone else. But unlike watching the Six Feet Under finale, which was a fucking masterpiece, this happened in your face, over the course of six seasons until only a handful of really well paid stars were born to keep everyone on the edge of their seats with cliffhangers, what ifs, alternate realities, the sideways - as if. No one could think of something a smidge better? Only to end it in an allegory.

Thank you, Disney Corps, for using a variety of religious symbols in your final scene. It was kind of you to recognize that, even though you called it a church. Thank you for not making him die with his arms outstretched. It was sweet and I'm sure the fans were happy to see the dead characters but what happened? You couldn't afford to bring back everyone? What happened to Mercutio and his son?

I'm not even sure how to end this babble? Television is a strange thing that our culture has bonded with really strongly. We seem to rely on it for so many of our emotional fulfillments so when one of these attachments end, we need to treat it like a moment of recognition and grief. I really can't comment on which shows are valid. We all have our tastes. But people, can we at least try to set a higher standard for the general public than spending the last SIX YEARS of YOUR LIFE obsessing about a show that is nothing more than a serial with predictable twists? I saw 5 episodes and I knew how it would end, so come on. Just for a little while, now that you have an hour back to your life, read a book.

and since you're all a bunch of sci fi nerds, make it a comic book.
